Development of an in vitro cytotoxicity model for aerosol exposure using 3D reconstructed human airway tissue; application for assessment of e-cigarette aerosol
A long, dry read, but might be helpful to someone... a few good quotes :

Odd - under "Conflicts of Interests" it says :
It seems this would be the opposite of "conflict of interest" ?

Unlike cigarettes, exposure of EpiAirway™ tissue to either variety of e-cigarette did not reduce tissue viability relative to untreated (incubator) control tissues.

Under the study conditions cigarette smoke demonstrated a dose-dependent response that resulted in near-complete cell death after a 6 h exposure period. In contrast, e-cigarette aerosol showed no decrease in tissue viability following a 6 h exposure, despite appropriate positive control responses.
